    Help, DD's new grips are killing her!

    DD just got new grips, first used on Monday. She had been using Velcro grips for the past two years and the new ones are US glove double buckle. Her wrists and the sides (pinky side) of her palms are ripped and raw. Her palms are fine, but it is hurting her so much that she wants to skip...

    To supplement or not to supplement?

    I'll preface this with, I have no medical training :). My DD was diagnosed with hypoglycemia and I was concerned about her having enough food and energy to make it through a 4 hour practice. Her pediatrician reccomended Carnation Breakfast Essentials (used to be Carnation instant breakfast)...

    Off Topic The coolest thing ever

    Crazy! That IS so cool. Are they man made or natural? If they need $$ for retirement, they could charge for admission ;) Please post pictures, if you get some!

    Parents Why are some parents never satisfied?

    I am the self depreciating parent ;) My DD is very humble, like me; the only person I EVER brag to is my mom and maybe once on here. Whenever somone comments on how well she's done, I get very uncomfortable and usually play it down. But unlike that mom, I don't add any details. Thankfully...

    Level 9 State Meet

    Oh, no :( I'm so sorry! I too agree about all the hard work, it just isn't fair! Besides the rest and hydration, I swear by probiotics. You can get them at any vitamin shops. My son's DR. Suggested them when he got the stomach flu last year, and he was feeling better within hours. They...

    Ever run into resentment from parents or kids to new kids moving up?

    Stella, I am sorry you and your dd have to deal with all this. I agree that you should talk to the coaches about speaking with the girls, they are being bullies and that should never be allowed to continue. As for the parents, I've been in your situation and time seems to ease their...

    Respectful conversation on sticking it out versus giving it up

    I haven't posted yet, but I finally feel like I have something to add ;). This exact question is how I came to discover the Chalk Bucket. My DD, now 11 took her first rec class in May 2008. This season she is competing level 7. For the first two years she was the best, best in her rec class...
